Grad School Application Essays

Whew! You’re in the midst of the application process, and it’s time to take a deep breath and take stock: You have your GPA. You studied for and took the GRE or other aptitude test. You’ve probably had some volunteer or professional experience related to your chosen field of study. Hopefully you have even carved out time for your own non-professional interests. Now you are about to begin the last stage — completing your graduate school applications — the only one over which you still have any influence.
